Overview
The Ajvir Singh Sandhu Leadership Foundation worked alongside Warwick University Business School to identify a candidate who was extremely committed to their education and also displayed strong signs of entrepreneurial potential. AjvirLF provided support to an undergraduate student covering full tuition fees for 3 years.
What Does It Involve?
Warwick Business School advertised the grant to incoming students. Following a successful application to enrol onto an undergraduate degree at Warwick, students were required to put forward further information to demonstrate their commitment to securing financial support from AjvirLF. This stage of the process involved a written application, formal interviews and an overview of a business idea which they had thought of themselves. Based on these factors, Warwick University selected the candidate which displayed the greatest commitment to their education and a strong desire to build a business which both has good foundations and, an element of giving back to the wider community.
Results?
2019 was the first year AjvirLF issued its grant. The opportunity was awarded to an extremely committed individual who has come through their first foundation year at Warwick and showed exceptional commitment to achieving both their academic and entrepreneurial dreams. Throughout the undergraduate degree, the student was given full financial support as well as the opportunity to work with the WBS mentoring network to help support the business proposition put forward.
Beneficiary Feedback
“The grant from the Foundation has lifted the financial burden of studying at university, and has given me more time to focus on extra curricular activities and really take in the whole university experience.”
